*** How on earth did you get ver. 1.3.3 ? *** I got mirage about a month ago, ver 1.3. Discovered a prob with using sequential masks files > 100 or so. David responded quickly verifying the problem and sent me the update a week later. This allowed me to load a sequence of masks in the 200+ number (so far). *** cast shadows on your sequential bitmaps (?) *** only in so far as the geometry the maps are assigned to. To do what I think u are getting at would require multiple render passes to set up the masks and the geomtry parts in the scene u want to effect. then video post to get the result. I havent experimented much with this yet so I may be wrong. *** the camera move & the Mirage fx also move in sync with it. *** Yep, done that! I have a scene of a space station flying in from off camera across a planet. the station "cloaks" into view. I am still tweeking the mask images to get the desired fade-in effect. Hope this helps. At least inpires!
